Queens Village, NY Trumpet Lessons

The key to this instrument is its simplicity! Learn to have unlimited technique to play any style.

I currently teach trumpet at the New School for Leadership and the Arts, but I have many years' experience teaching music to students of all ages. I teach to the abilities, passions, and ambitions of the student(s).

I've been teaching trumpet for 20 years and my students have gone on to the State level Band Auditions and won multiple times. Within the first few lessons, you'll be able to make a decent sound, play scales, arpeggios and simple tunes, and as time goes on you'll be able to play popular tunes solo and with accompaniment of piano or band. I specialize in classical, jazz and klezmer style, typically use best published books, and have the renovated, quiet and spacious studio, music stands, audio equipment. I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!

The trumpet is a colorful and exciting instrument played in many styles of music throughout the world, from jazz and classical to funk and soul to reggae, afro-beat, and Balkan music. In addition to covering the basic technical requirements of the instrument, I'm particularly interested in the many genres in which the trumpet can be found, and I like to focus on the styles of music that most interest and challenge my students. I have been playing trumpet for more than 18 years, and I teach my students valuable brass exercises based on lessons I learned under the tutelage of John McNeil, Laurie Frink, and Walter White. I encourage the use of long tones, air support, and trumpet calisthenics to improve tone, increase range and endurance, and work towards greater flexibility.

I possess more than 10 years of progressive experience in music education. My professional history includes positions such as president/instructor at Rockville Centre Music as well as classical guitar instructor at Long Island Conservatory.
Most recently, my responsibilities as owner at Rockville Centre Music match the qualifications you are seeking. As the Owner, my responsibilities included preparing schedules, creating lesson plans, and working with special needs children.

I am a professional full time Trombonist. At the same time, teaching has always been a big part of who I am - I love teaching. My music career has taken me around the world and back but more than that it has given me a wonderful tool of self expression, and for that I am forever grateful. My band performs regularly in Opera houses as well as coffee houses... Other than the Trombone I do play the Trumpet as well, and I have over 8 years of Piano under my belt. I feel very confident teaching Trumpet up to the advanced level. This is pretty much standard practice within the brass family :)

I have over 5 years of experience teaching beginner and intermediate trumpet. Students are my number one priority. I believe in teaching outside the book, to give each one of my students an individualized plan to reach their goals. I will always go above and beyond to steer you in the right direction, and to make your music experience last a lifetime.

Students can expect to be appropriately challenged with repertoire, in a supportive, communicative environment. I am happy to work on school repertoire, pop tunes or music from the standard repertoire. I believe in efficiency and getting the most out of your practice time. We all lead busy lives, I will teach you how to accomplish your goals with the time you want to invest.

Unfortunately I do not teach beginners online, only in person. It is impossible to develop the appropriate sound and skills without being there in person. I can help you find someone in your area, please feel free to reach out!

Throughout my time at Berklee, NEC, and now Juilliard, I have studied with many great teachers and musicians from Wynton Marsalis, Eddie Henderson, Kenny Barron, Tiger Okoshi, John McNeil, and Laurie Frink to Jerry Bergonzi, and Miguel Zenon. The diverse subjects we went over in lessons and classes gives me a unique knowledge of certain styles and musical ideas. I try to be as personal and individual as I can when it comes to teaching students. That was the thing that stood out amongst my favorite teachers.

Hello, my name is Mao Sone. I am a trumpet player, a pianist, a composer and an educator.

For the trumpet students, I will be able to transmit the information and technique that I have learned from my teachers.
My trumpet teachers are Tiger Okoshi and Sean Jones. They always knew what students needed to practice. Watching them over 5 years in Berklee College Of Music in the master's and bachelor's program gave me many materials so that I can pass down to the younger trumpet players.

For jazz lessons, I am willing to teach any instruments.
I study jazz ensemble and improvisation under grammy-winning artists such as Danilo Perez, John Patitucci, Joe Lovano, and Teri Lyne Carrington at the Berklee Global Jazz Institute, and played with them. The experiences I have got from them gave me the unique approaches to jazz music.

The key to growing your jazz maturity is to reinforce your rhythm by experiencing and practicing African grooves such as abakua 6/8. Studying those ...

I've been teaching Trumpet and Piano for 4 years and my students have gone on to Region and All-State Bands and some have been accepted into music schools such as Berkley and Mason Gross. I specialize in Jazz Trumpet and Piano but also invest much of time time into whatever my student show interest in (Classical, Pop, Rock etc...). I love working with students of all ages and experience levels and I can't wait to meet you!
